They have come out with an article which raises far more questions than answers.

The usual un-named sources are sprinkled throughout. Nowhere is an official named by name in the entire article. The say there was a Grand Jury, but neglect one little detail that could tell us a lot. WHERE was that Grand Jury empaneled? If it was in D.C., then it is obvious why they returned the verdict they did and furthered the investigation. Same for if it was in NYC.

Quote:The raid on Mar-a-Lago was based largely on information from an FBI confidential human source, one who was able to identify what classified documents President Trump was still hiding and even the location of those documents, two senior government officials told Newsweek.

[b]The officials, who have direct knowledge of the FBI’s deliberations and were granted anonymity in order to discuss sensitive matters, said the raid of Donald Trump’s Florida residence was deliberately timed to occur when the former president was away.

FBI decision-makers in Washington and Miami thought that denying the former president a photo opportunity or a platform from which to grandstand (or to attempt to thwart the raid) would lower the profile of the event, says one of the sources, a senior Justice Department official who is a 30-year veteran of the FBI.

The effort to keep the raid low-key failed: instead, it prompted a furious response from GOP leaders and Trump supporters. “What a spectacular backfire,” says the Justice official.

“I know that there is much speculation out there that this is political persecution, but it is really the best and the worst of the bureaucracy in action,” the official says. “They wanted to punctuate the fact that this was a routine law enforcement action, stripped of any political overtones, and yet [they] got exactly the opposite.”

Both senior government officials say the raid was scheduled with no political motive, the FBI solely intent on recovering highly classified documents that were illegally removed from the White House. Preparations to conduct such an operation began weeks ago, but in planning the date and time, the FBI Miami Field Office and Washington headquarters were focused on the former president’s scheduled return to Florida from his residences in New York and New Jersey.

“They were seeking to avoid any media circus,” says the second source, a senior intelligence official who was briefed on the investigation and the operation. “So even though everything made sense bureaucratically and the FBI feared that the documents might be destroyed, they also created the very firestorm they sought to avoid, in ignoring the fallout.”

THEY ARE STILL LYING TO US, BIGTIME. They know they fvcked up and stirred up a hornet's nest. NOBODY believes the FBI any more. They have burned all their credibility to the ground.

Newsweak, being the reliable left wing water carrier, has no trouble relating this tale complete with anonymous federal officials.

Yeah, nothing here stinks to high heaven.

So, it sounds like, after rummaging 9 hours thru Melanias underwear, that they still havent found anything.

I'm not the least bit surprised. That sounds like something they would certainly do.

Those panty raiders got a good long sniff of Melanie’s delicates

It's all on video. It must first be edited and produced to do the most damage. Close ups etc.

If republicans succeed in recapturing the house of representatives, defunding the FBI should be their first order of business. And be willing to shut the government down over it.

I wouldn't defund it. I'd just fire everyone in mid/upper management on day 1

This.

It’s worth noting that Newsweek today is unrelated to the Newsweek of old. It went bankrupt and and the name was purchased by a religious cult connected to the Moonies.

This organization was recently charged with fraud for lying on business loan applications, the State of New York did not reauthorize their “college” to even remain operating in the state, though they still run a home campus in California that is nearly all foreign students here on visas, mostly Koreans. It’s all one big organization run by a guy named David Jang.

No doubt authorities have so much dirt on this sham organization they could easily be pressured into printing/posting whatever is required of them by the government.

The group also makes money from legit sounding websites they own like The Christian Post and International Business Times. They get their sites ranked high and make their content free with no subscription required to make money from the advertising clicks. Avoid all of them. They are running a big scam.

I’m working on a post all about it.

Time to start from scratch with that group. The FBI hasnt been this rogue since the days of it being J Edgar Hoover's private fiefdom.

every single one ... give the replacements 50% of the current budget ... completely trash the IRS and begin the process of transitioning to a corporate/individual consumption tax ... and well, that'd be a dayum great 1-2 start...

And....openly run on shutting down the FBI and revamping the current payback oriented IRS. Or better yet....form a commission to convert to a national VAT and greatly reduce the IRS. Whatever system the US has for collecting VAT/taxes/whatever, there will need to be an agency to oversee it. But I am convinced the employee count can be GREATLY reduced.

The states that have an income tax would of course still have tax offices.

Firing or moving everyone at the top levels of the FBI does nothing. You do nothing but replace them with more political acolytes thats better at hiding themselves deep within the woods (con artists that know how to play the game). What needs to be done is a reorganization and defunding that strips them of centralized power so they are incapable of doing such things again

Nothing good can come from it and every day joe sixpack doesn't like it.
